WAY #35

A note on length and width (and yes, we are still on the topic of neckties):

57" long and 3 1/2" wide is about the standard, but may be varied accordingly to your build.

WAY #36

Toothpaste, food and water do not complement silk ties.

As such, always brush your teeth before putting on a tie, and when washing your hands, toss the end of your necktie over your shoulder for dry keeping.

The Shirt;

If there is one item of clothing that will define a man, it is his shirt.

It is the blank canvas upon which to build his distinguished attire. Knowing this, the gentleman chooses wisely.

WAY #37

When trying on a shirt, test the fit standing and sitting, without holding in your breath any more than usual

WAY #38

Tapered shirts are for men with tapered physiques. If the buttons are straining against your shirtfront, simply move on to a larger size. Age catches up with us all, but dignity can be preserved.

WAY #39

Since not all shirt collar styles suit all men, wear a collar to complement your build and bone structure.


- Long Faces: a spread collar, button-down collar or tab will give the effect of shortening it

- Square Faces: a button down collar or rounded-point collar will soften your angular features

- Round Faces: button-down or long-point collars will create length

EXTRA for the day.....

WAY #42

Silk shorts are questionable. As are cowboy shorts. Unless you are a cowboy.

Way #43

Your shirt cuffs extend preferably half an inch from the sleeves of your jacket, but your cufflinks should not actually show unless you're extending your hand or bending your elbow.

WAY #44

Casual Friday does not excuse the visibility of chest hair. Button up. Or remove excess hair (see chapter 1). And then button up.

WAY #45

Other things to look for in a good shirt: removable collar bones, a split yoke, French seams, high stitch counts, mother-of-pearl buttons, gussets and pleated sleeves where the cuffs are jointed.

WAY #46

Besides offering comfort and stretch, small amount of Lycra - about 5% mixed with 95% cotton - help your shirts hold their shape and resist wrinkles. Any more than that you're in dangerous aerobics territory.

The Suit

A suit is not an obligation; it is your protector. It can elevate your status, diminish certain flaws, accentuate your qualities, and on the whole, make you.

WAY #47

When buying a suit, always consider in this order:

Cut, Colour, and Fabric;

Since the Cut is the most important factor, and so many things can be forgiven of a man in a well-cut suit.

WAY #48

Every man should own at least one bespoke suit. There is an unspoken charm in knowing you were the only intended person for it.

my contribution.

find a motivation to exercise. For me, eat motivates me to exercise (my motto is run for food).

the starting point is always going to be difficult, but not the most. The most challenging is to keep the momentum.

I used to be a decent runner, but 5-10 years of no exercising and ill-discipline diet, my weight ballooned to beyond 90 kg. I couldn't walk a decent distance without panting, let alone run.

From my experience, start small but regularly. I started with just 30 mins of walk and run. The key point is to "exercise your heart". It's not so much of the time or distance. Start with 1 min of run with 5 mins of walk, then progress to 2 - 4, then 3-3 before going for full run...

It has been 18 months since I restart my regiment (I used to do 3 times a week, now it's every alternate day), I feel much healthier, and fitter ... but most importantly I can now eat whatever I want.. hehe

One tip i picked up from school.. if you have a bow tie with the back and front pattern similar, you can cheat by tying it like a shoelace, then straightening it out later.

WAY #49

A gentleman never dresses to standout (we prefer to leave that to the women). So his suits, save for several reservedly creative options, are mostly navy, black, or dark grey, and solid.

WAY #50

On a two-button suit, you fasten only the top button; on a three-button suit, you fasten only the middle, or the middle and the top button, but never all three.

WAY #51

Dress to accentuate. Short men may create the illusion of the height with dark suits, vertical lines, tapered trousers with no cuffs and two-button suits.

Ditto for men with full figures, as this, too, has a slimming effect.

If, however, you are tall and slim, there is no need to appear so smug.

WAY #53

A black suit with crisp white straight-collar shirt and a long solid black tie can be worn to any event where you're requested to wear a tuxedo.

extra .... all because I know someone (LOL my fans?), following daily (I hope)

here you go;

WAY #55

The tuxedo is another word for dinner clothes, which includes a short coat (or dinner jacket) worn on formal occasions.

Not to be confused with tailcoat, which is short in front with long "tails" in back reaching the knee.

Neither jacket must make an appearance before 6 o'clock.

WAY #56

That said, unless a gentleman regularly attend formal balls, or had received an invitation to done with royalty, he may never have the need to be fitted for a tailcoat. A quality rental will usually suffice.

The Shoes

No matter what you wear, it all comes down to your shoes. They are the most important article in your wardrobe, and will carry you through the walks of life.

Extra for the beautiful weekend;

WAY #57

Avoid wearing a new pair of shoes to an important occasion, especially if they have soles of smooth, slick leather. You want to leave an upright impression.

WAY #59

Always keep your shoes shined. The same way you would keep your nails trimmed.

WAY #60

Shining a pair of leather shoes (information for the man who has never served in the military or boy scouts) will require a soft cloth, wax polisher and water.

The Procedure:

1) Sprinkle a bit warm water over the polish (spit is permitted);
2) Cover a finger with soft cloth and use it to work the water into the polish;
3) Apply the polish to the shoe;
4) Work the polish into the leather;
5) using a clean section of the cloth (or soft brush), buff the leather to a brilliant shine

NEXT "Accessorising"

Life is in the details. Because it's not just the broad gestures that count - real quality is in small stuff.

WAY #62

The one important rule about male leg is that it should never be visible between socks and trousers.

Pick knee-length socks over ankle length ones.
